We (The Darkins Children) were saddened to learn of the passing of your Aunt Helen. I have fond memories of her singing in the choir at First Baptist Church, Harrison Street. She was a lively person with a beautiful voice. I hope the memorial at findagrave.com will honor her appropriately. All who knew her will definitely miss her.
